Dolphins could get fatal “megadoses” from oil that was found in crab larvae

…[S]cientists began finding specks of oil in crab larvae plucked from waters across the Gulf coast. …

“It would suggest the oil has reached a position where it can start moving up the food chain instead of just hanging in the water,” said Bob Thomas, a biologist at Loyola University in New Orleans. “Something likely will eat those oiled larvae … and then that animal will be eaten by something bigger and so on.”

Tiny creatures might take in such low amounts of oil that they could survive, Thomas said. But those at the top of the chain, such as dolphins and tuna, could get fatal “megadoses.”

Marine biologists routinely gather shellfish for study. Since the spill began, many of the crab larvae collected have had the distinctive orange oil droplets, said Harriet Perry, a biologist with the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Laboratory. “In my 42 years of studying crabs I’ve never seen this,” Perry said

Or..the first breaths in the blow-hole were of ..methane permeated air…
….or perhaps.. it’s because they were born in an oil/corexit soup..and fell victim to the various toxins..
They may be victims…premature births,still-birth and toxin-induced miscarriages.
The crabs..have problems of their own.
